To clarify: We are not hardcoding anything or bypassing upstream logic. All BitBake var= iables and artifact handling remain unchanged. The only difference is that = if FIT_CUSTOM_ITS_FILE is set, we use that file instead of generating one d= ynamically. This ensures we still rely on the existing process for preparing kernel, DT= Bs, and other artifacts. Regarding extending the ITS generator: yes, we considered it, but our requi= red compatible string format is very specific and would need major changes = to the generator, adding complexity and maintenance overhead. Using a custo= m ITS file is simpler, low-impact, and keeps upstream behavior intact while= meeting our UEFI compatibility needs. Let me know if you=E2=80=99d like more details or if you see a better alter= native. Thanks, Kavinaya
